Siobhan Newman

I currently have limited space for supervisees online or face to face at my LN6 space

I have been a therapist for 14 years.

Initially I qualified as a Person-Centred Counsellor but went on to gain experience working mainly with children, young people, parents/carers and families.

I have training in DDP (Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy), Theraplay (Informed Practitioner) and TLSW (Therapeutic Life Story Work.

I qualified as a Counselling Supervisor in 2018

I still actively work as a therapist in schools, for local authorities and private agencies and privately with families.

If having sessions face-to-face I have a unique therapy setting of a cabin within woodlands. Access to the woodlands can be part of supervision allowing the benefits of working outdoors to be part of your session.

Via the training and experiences I have had I am able to use a variety of ideas and skills.

I am a passionate, flexible, dedicated and reliable Supervisor who will work with whatever you decide to bring to supervision so that together we can determine the most useful and effective way forward.

The way I work can be best described by a current supervisee -

"In the 3 years that Siobhan has been providing me with supervision it has become a key part of my practice, providing encouragement and support as well as wise and considered insights.  She has an informal but highly professional style, holding me to account ethically, ensuring I am looking after myself and also supporting my development. She has a wealth of knowledge in most areas of counselling but especially working with children and young people. Her supervision allows me to feel totally confident that my work is being overseen by a highly competent member of the counselling community"

I offer a free 20 minute initial meeting to see if working with me is what you are looking for.
